Australian Resources and Energy Association (AREEA) Winner

In October, the Australian Resources and Energy Employer Association (AREEA) Industry Awards and Gala were held in Brisbane.

The occasion is a prestigious industry event which celebrates national leaders in the resources sector, with organisations across Australia being nominated for excellence relating to workforce initiatives. We were awarded the “Workforce and Workplace Relations Innovation Award”, which celebrates initiatives and practices that have directly enhanced the success of the organisation. Northparkes’ nomination and award was received for the coordinated effort to re-deploy and re-train our development workforce across surface processing and underground production, following the early completion of E26L1N development this year. Northparkes’ Manager, People, Safety and Environment, Stacey Kelly, alongside Manager, Mining (Acting), Sergio Melloni, and Senior Human Resources Advisor, Jane Slaven attended the Industry Awards and Gala, joined by Sumitomo Corporation Mineral Resources General Manager, Romina Bratton. The evening celebrated achievements across the resources and energy sector and acknowledged leading operations for excellence in workforce related areas of the industry. Australian Resources and Energy Employer Association AREEA, previously known as AMMA, have been providing support, representation and leadership to employers across the sector since 1918.
